In talking with Unigine Corp prior to the pre-ordering process, they hoped their low-cost DRM-free pre-ordering-gets-you-beta would go in a manner like the Humble Indie Bundles in terms of sales.

They were selling a pre-order/unsupported beta, while humble bundle is selling multiple complete games. They were also asking $20, while the humble bundle is averaging only $11 for Linux gamers, and much less on the other platforms.

But most importantly, everyone knows about these humble bundle promotions because they've been popular and good deals in the past. Everyone likes them and looks forward to the next one. No one ever heard about Unigine's offer unless they came to Phoronix.

My third bundle.. but I'm tired of getting screwed on the installers. .tar.gz? .run? gtfo.

I bought it for $5. They get the other $45 when they've got proper .deb files, and I told them so.

Right.

For which specific Debian flavor, original or Ubuntu?

Which version(s) of that flavor?

And given the current lack of multi-arch support in Debian distros... for which architecture?

And the RPM folks... which distros should they make RPMs for? And which archs? And which versions of which distros?

And then what about the Arch Linux users, Gentoo users, BSD users, Slackware users, etc.?

Sure would be swell if upstream software distributors could make a single .package file for which every distro included some kind of nice GUI app with which to do an easy double-click-the-damn-file install, like an MSI but without the crack-addled ridiculousness, and with dependency resolution using if nothing else a pre-defined set of well-established platform definitions...

... and it sure would be nice if I had the freaking time to work on that project. :/ ... instead I spend what little free time i have playing indie games. Screw you, Humble Bundle!
